Housing at UAF is in high demand, so apply early! Students who wish to live in undergraduate housing should apply at least one month prior to the move-in date. Applications will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis; there is no guarantee that space will be available. To apply for housing, students must be enrolled in at least six (6) semester credits. UAF encourages all students to apply for admission before applying for housing.

If you are under 18 or cannot pay your housing deposit/application fee with a credit card, you cannot use our online application system, please call 907-474-7247 to get access to our paper housing application. Have the credit card ready you plan to pay your housing deposit ($315.00, refundable) and application fee ($40.00, non-refundable) with. Please note: If you fulfill your housing agreement and do not have any outstanding fees on your UA account when you move out, this credit card will have the deposit credited back to it.

Roommate Preference

Do you have a preferred roommate? After you submit a housing application, you will be able to match yourself to a preferred roommate. Ensure your requested roommate has submitted a housing application. Follow the path of logging into UAOnline > Student Services & Account Information > Campus Housing, Dining, and Post Office Link > UAF Link > Room Selection > Roommate/Suitemate and request your intended roommate (they will be sent an email that they have been requested as a roommate). Your intended roommate will confirm your request. You are now matched.

Incoming first year students can only be matched with incoming first year students.

Only matched requests will be considered

Roommate preferences are not guaranteed and are subject to room availability.

Roommates need to be matched by July 2, 2018 to be considered.

Assignment Process

Assignments are made based upon the student’s application complete date (earliest first). If you are matched with a roommate, assignments will be based on application complete date and hall preferences of the group creator. Hall preferences will be reviewed in the order listed on a student's application. Assignments will be made based on room availability. Assignment letters with check-in instructions will be emailed to your preferred email address as designated on UAOnline. Housing assignments and roommate contact information can be found on my MyHousing home page. Room floor plans can be found on the hall pages.
